PAINTING

Tempera painting is always a great project and full of imagination. We used boards to paint on, and each child had a plate to decide which colors she wanted to use and mix for her painting. The tools to paint with included regular brushes, textured rollers, cars and hands!

COLLAGE ON NEWSPAPER

Kids Make Art is back at a new location- very exciting!

Here is last week's session where we did collage. The process that happens at doing collage helps developing the creativity in children and they learn different skills at once: getting to know different materials/papers, cutting and gluing. Visually, they learn to combine shapes and pictures and tell a story through the collage. Sounds a bit complex? It's actually simple process and a lot of fun. As a background we used newspaper this time. The kids first used stickers to decorate the newspaper, then used glue with a brush to add colored tissue paper and shiny dots. The results were beautiful!

FABRIC COLLAGE AND CANVAS PAINTING

We had three different activities this week, starting with a flowery fabric collage. Each child used lots of glue and added many coloful fabric pieces to a board.

We then continued with painting the beads we prepared the week before from saltdough! Some children painted them with brushes and others rolled the beads through the paint by hand.
After that, we painted on canvas with tempera paint. We used all kinds of tools, brushes, foams, cars and rollers.





CLAY SESSION

The summer session group worked with clay this week. We used water spray bottles to soften the clay and added items like sticks and glitter and little pins to decorate the sculptures. The second part of the session we painted selfmade dough-beads that we will use for necklaces next week.



SUMMER PROJECT: MAGNET STICKS

It's summer vacation soon and here, many hours of the August days are spent indoors in the aircondition! So here are a few art projects you can do at home. The first one are magnet sticks, which we have done at our classes and also at home. Here's what you need:
-craft sticks (יש אותם בחנויות כפר שעשועים או בחנויות יצירה)
-strong contact glue or glue gun
-brushes and paint (tempera or גואש)
-collage material and children's glue.

For the collage material you can get things like foam shapes or dots, anything works.

If you decide to paint, put a paper plate or newspaper underneath the sticks.

We also used fabric left overs (given to us from design shop Kuku)

Let the sticks dry and then stick to the fridge. The kids will enjoy playing with them!

FINGERPAINTING AND COLORED PLAYDOUGH

The little Sweetpeaz started today with fingerpainting on waxpaper. We used our fingers and hands to paint, but also a variety of tools to chose from: sponges, brushes, cars and rollers.

For the second part of the session I prepared colored playdough and we had fun preparing "pizzas" and "pitot" and "cakes".
